First thing, people: Peace :-). Second: Bulat, I think your generalization is, that performance matters so much and all the time. I think performance is part of an overall picture: Lack of performance incurs cost in hardware, languages which miss abstraction features and type safety and garbage collection incur costs in maintenance and in developement. You have to weight those against each other. A good method is to start with a real high level language and optimize the hot spots to an appropriate low level language. Or get the compiler to deal with that case if it is general enough).
